I splurged on a room with a terrace. The terrace was beautiful - large as depicted on the website. We enjoyed our continental breakfast out there each morning. It was our first trip to Venice so we really have no basis to compare, but in talking with other travelers about their hotels I think we overpaid for what we received. Spending $600 per night I think we should have gotten a full breakfast and not just bread, juice and coffee. The staff was superb, though. Extremely helpful in every situation. I also think for that kind of money they should have included the cost of the pickup at the train station - which was $85 each way for a five-minute boat ride. So overall I would not recommend it unless you enjoy privacy and like looking at yourself in the mirror. Mirrors mirrors everywhere!!
We had a wonderful experience at the Palazzina G hotel. They noticed my birthday when we checked in and surprised me with a small birthday cake. Made for an even nicer stay. We would definitely go back again and highly recommend this wonderful hotel.
Great front office staff, always looking to please. Also enjoyed the eat & dine with Mateo, very good meal. Room was a little small, but expected for Venice and overall a great stay.
I would not describe it as your typical 5 star hotel, but it was ok considering the price. The positive is that it was pretty close to the dock- which makes it a short walk. Make sure you know how to get there from the dock because it's a bit tricky.
